What other costs on top of the purchase price can I expect?

Normally you should allow an additional 10% on top of the purchase price for legal fees, Notary fees, land registry, IVA (VAT) and stamp duty. Your Solicitor will give you a detailed breakdown as part of his quotation. If you are considering taking a mortgage, the bank may charge an arrangement and survey fee, just as they do in the UK, together with other expenses.
